NIC's Phi Theta Kappa chapter to present seminar on war

The seminar is part of the chapter’s exploration of this year’s Phi Theta Kappa honors study topic “Gold, Gods and Glory: The Global Dynamics of Power.” The topic is utilized as the focus of various Phi Theta Kappa honors programs.

The first part of the seminar will be the showing of the 1989 film “Glory” at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9 in Room 102 of the Meyer Health and Sciences Building on NIC’s main campus. The film stars Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman in a docudrama on the history of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Regiment during the American Civil War.

The second part of the seminar will be presented via a videotaped lecture by Dan Senor, the former chief spokesperson for the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq and senior adviser to presidential envoy L. Paul Bremer III, the administrator of the coalition provisional authority. He will present on “The Iraq War and Its Consequences in the Middle East” at 4 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16 in Room 102 of the Meyer Health and Sciences Building.

Both events are free and open to the public and will include refreshments.
